I agree with our President? A first I know.

I didn't know he said that. Yes, I used those exact same words so if Obama said this I agree with him 100%.

Ha! I also said to myself, "Well this is a first, I 100% agree with Obama!" when I read the story. And here's another first, I say cut the President some slack because he said it "off the record" as in not intended for public consumption. The reporter who publicized his off the record comment made a mistake.

I'd have to agree with you but then again I don't like my president saying things like that... and I'm sorry but nothing when you are president of the United States is off the record. Has any other president calls someone a jacka** while in office to a bunch of reporters? I would love to hear it if they did... I was really shocked. He could have just said that was not appropriate and moved on. And what is with Joe Wilson becoming a verb?

Obama just called him that because he's Black. :~D

I have to agree with the President as well on this one. It is actually one of the first "real" moment, I have seen from the President.

Opinionated Lady, I must apologize. I did not see any discussions on this topic when I posted a similar one. If you know of anyway I can remove mine I will immediately! I was just so shocked that I too could agree with the president on something I did not look very well before I leapt! For what its worth I think he should be able to call it as he sees it. Forget being politically correct.

Saying "no comment" gives silent support to a jacka$$ who publicly assaulted a lovely 19 year old young woman. I'm glad Obama holds the opinion he does of Kayne...it's a well deserved one.

Well I think he could have used the term jerk but, lets face it politicans cuss and they are opinionated as well. I was shocked when I heard politicans from both sides throwing the F word around.

but given the circumstance, there is no way for Obama to say otherwise. it is just obvious that Kayne West was in the wrong. and there is no reason for Obama to justify what Kayne did and so it was just natural for any one to say what Obama has said. cause if he sided with Kayne in some way or another , it will obviously make him look more ridiculous and irresponsible in saying so. So there is nothing really worthy of praise for Obama here. but still since he in a way said the right thing, we still feel that he should given credit for it which he really should for siding for what is right. but this is not something that is really hard to do on any one's part, it does not really take a genius or even saint to do or say the right thing on this kind of incident.

First and formost this whole thing is the very reason the code of journalism is dying. This was off the record and should not have been taped or mentioned. He felt he was with men who knew and understood that. It was COMPLETELY a breech of his trust to the media. I was so upset when I heard how this got out. On the other hand this man spoke his mind thinking it would just stay amoung adults as if this was 20 years ago it would have because thats how journalism is suppose to work. It was never meant to cause harm or be taken out of context as it has been. I think the man said exactly what everyone else was thinking and I applaud him for showing the would he has a actual human side as well. I thought it was amazing.
